2016 Fall Internship Program
Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd. (JAPAN)
The Institute for Japanese Studies is pleased to announce a Summer internship program at Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd. (Teraoka), a Japanese manufacturing firm headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Undergraduate or graduate students at The Ohio State University who have an interest in Japanese business and culture and have studied at least two years of Japanese language are invited to apply. Applicants must hold U.S. passports and be students of The Ohio State University. Teraoka will accept one OSU student intern for Fall 2016.
The purpose of the program is to provide OSU students with experience in the day-to-day operations of a Japanese business. Interns will be in a position assigned by Teraoka’s personnel section and will have a chance to learn about Japanese culture and business.
The Fall internship period is for 3 months, from late September 2016 through mid-December 2016. Interns are required to pay for transportation to and from Japan and to provide proof of health insurance. However, once in Japan, interns are provided with living expenses (room and board, commuting to/from work, and meals).
